First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- transmitting, by one or more IoT (Internet of Things) devices, a request to a base station, the request comprising a preamble for accessing one or more resources of the base station;
upon reception of a message including a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value for configuring power of the one or more IoT devices to a first power level from the base station specific to the request, initiating at a first time interval, over a first Random-access channel (RACH) transmission channel by the one or more IoT devices, a first Random-access channel (RACH) process based on the RSSI value extracted from the message by configuring power of the one or more IoT devices to the first power level;
upon failure of the first RACH process;
computing, by the one or more IoT devices, one or more time delays specific to power ramping of the one or more IoT devices;
initiating, at a second time interval, a second RACH process for the one or more IoT devices based on the one or more computed time delays; and
upon initiating the second RACH process, ramping power of the one or more IoT devices to one or more power levels based on the one or more computed time delays and independent from number of RACH process transmission, wherein the one or more time delays are computed based on the extracted RSSI value associated with the one or more IoT devices.

Abstract
In LTE Random Access Channel (RACH) mechanism, devices use slotted ALOHA based protocol for RACH message exchange. During these messages exchange, if a device does not get a response from a base-station (BS), the device assumes that it is not able to reach base station due to insufficient transmission power and increases transmit power to reach to the base station. However, at higher density most of requests are lost due to collision. In existing RACH procedure, device unnecessarily ramps power in next RACH process which leads to power wastage in already resource constrained device. When there is failure of reception of RACH process, the present disclosure computes time delays (TD) based on a RSSI value obtained from a message transmitted by the BS, and initiates RACH process accordingly. The embodiments further enable requests transmission from device to BS by ramping power of the devices based on the computed TD.
